Excellent Value For Money

Excellent Customer Support

Portability

Not so Good

The manual is vague

The RAVPower RP-WD01 is a marvel. If you haven’t got a router that can share SD cards or USB drives or you need to share files on the move, then this is invaluable. Rather than storing your files & movies in the cloud, you can access locally using your home wireless. No worries about Internet connection dropouts or congestion. We preferred browsing to the device using IP 10.10.10.254, as opposed to using the Apple MobileFun app or Google Airstor app. Browsing can be done from any operating system.

The bridging function works well. We were able to extend our Asus RT-N66U wireless range, giving us the option to access our files and browse the Internet at the same time, as well giving extra coverage!
We haven’t had any problems accessing our files. Movies and music stream seamlessly since we have tested.

The emergency battery charger feature also works well. We fully charged a Nexus 4 phone with the RP-WD01 and still had about 10% power left. The RP-WD01 can be recharged via USB or from the mains, although unfortunately only a USB charger is packaged.

Customer support from Sunvalleytek is very good. A courtesy email is sent on shipment and any issues are dealt with promptly through to resolution.
